Pune Civic Body Orders Swift Action On Pending Court Cases
Pune’s city government has many court cases that still need action.
The municipal commissioner told officials to handle these cases faster.
Officials reviewed cases where courts had already given decisions but departments had not yet acted.
They were told to get approvals and complete the needed action within three days.
If a department disagrees with a decision, it may need to file an appeal.
Land acquisition and tax disputes were among the important cases discussed.
The city will keep better records of each case using software or a Google Sheet.
Departments must label cases by how important and costly they are before the next review meeting.
Pune Municipal Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram ordered departments to expedite pending court cases and comply promptly with court decisions.
Additional Municipal Commissioner Omprakash Divate reviewed litigation involving several civic departments during a Friday meeting.
Officials were told to act within three days after approvals, or file appeals where necessary.
Land acquisition disputes, reservation changes, mobile-tower taxes and other tax cases received particular attention.
The Legal Department must update case records, while departments must classify cases by importance and review progress before another meeting in two to three weeks.
